Then Devin Hester fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Then Foles had zero pressure and hit Zach Ertz for 27 yards. Then McCoy blasted up the middle for a score and 14-0 lead. The first quarter wasn’t half over, mind you.

And before the quarter was over, the Eagles would score again. Of course they would. It’s what they did against the Bears, like the scoreboard was a telethon.

At one point, the Eagles had 149 yards while the Bears had four -- count ‘em, four -- against one of the NFL’s worst defenses.

In no particular order, the Eagles converted a third-and-goal from the 10 for a score, a fourth-and-1 that went for 12, and a third-and-10 from their 8 that gained 16.

In the third quarter, the Eagles would register a safety, natch. The evening needed that.

And then the Eagles would take the ensuing free kick and destroy the Bears in 67 quick yards. The game officially devolved into a joke as McCoy spun out of Julius Peppers’ customary useless grip for a 33-3 lead.

Remember Peppers? Yeah, those were the good old days. Now he’s just old. And bad.

And Lance Briggs was a waste. Briggs got run over and smacked more than he made any plays of note in coming back from an injured shoulder. He was never going to be the savior, but he didn’t have to be Khaseem Greene, did he?

And speaking of jokes, the Bears had given up 156 rushing yards by the middle of the third quarter. That’s more than the Eagles usually run for. That’s more than the Bears usually give up.

But wait. There was more shame to be earned. The Bears didn’t get run over for more than 100 yards by one back, no, they got torched for 100-yard games by two Eagles runners. That’s a pathetic excuse for a defense.

But then, the entire Bears effort was a pathetic excuse for a football team. A national laughingstock, right down to Cutler’s pick-6 that pushed the Eagles close to 50 points in the fourth quarter and Bryce Brown’s 65-yard dash that vaulted Philadelphia to 54.

Surprisingly, this was not the end of the season for the Bears, no matter how much you wanted it to be, no matter how much it deserved to be. Bad and stupid is no way to go through the NFL, even in the weak NFC North, which, embarrassingly, the Bears still could win by beating the Packers next Sunday.

The game has been pushed back to a 3:25 p.m. start. So, the Bears get a bit of a prime-time do-over.

Five Orioles who have never been represented in bobblehead form are up for this year's AT&T Fans' Choice Bobblehead vote, with the winner to be featured as a giveaway during Fan Appreciation Weekend on Oct. 4.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Right-hander Kevin Gausman, who seems ticketed for the Orioles’ bullpen to start the year, allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk in 3 2/3 innings in a 4-3 loss to a Tampa Bay Rays’ split squad Tuesday.
